Colts' 2018 training camp preview: Mike Badgley, Juante Baldwin

The Indianapolis Colts are just about one month away from reporting for training camp, where they will keep their eyes keen on the competition at several positions.

On the 90-man roster, there will be competition at almost every position. That is with the exception of kicker, where 45-year-old Adam Vinatieri enters his 23rd season in the NFL.

Despite this, the Colts still signed former Miami kicker Mike Badgley as an undrafted free agent on May 1 following the 2018 NFL Draft.

The Colts had already re-signed Vinatieri to a one-year extension at that point so it might be that the front office simply wants to see some options in the market in case something unforeseen happens.

A four-year starter at Miami, Badgley finished his 2017 season converting 45 of 46 extra point attempts (97.8 percent) and 17 of 23 field goal attempts (73.9 percent). He finished with 96 points.

Bottom line: The Colts have Vinatieri already locked up for another year so Badgley likely won’t make the 53-man roster unless something happens to the former. That still doesn’t mean the Colts don’t want to see what’s out in the market.
